Police Remembrance Day Tomorrow

National Police Remembrance Day, held every September, is a heartfelt occasion to honour the courageous Police Officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. This year, ceremonies will be held throughout Queensland and across the nation, reflecting our deep respect for those who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our communities safe.

On Friday, 27th September 2024, the National Police Remembrance Day Service will take place at 10:00 am at the Burdekin Community Church in Ayr.

During this solemn gathering, facilitators will read the Roll of Honour, a tribute to the Officers lost. It’s a meaningful moment for our community to remember and recognise their bravery.

Guests will have the chance to lay flowers and wreaths as symbols of gratitude and remembrance. There will also be a collection to support Police Legacy, an organisation dedicated to helping the families of fallen Officers, ensuring they are never forgotten.

After the service, everyone is invited to gather in the Church Hall for light refreshments. This will be a wonderful opportunity to connect and foster a sense of community among Police Officers, their families, and the public.

As we approach this day, the Queensland Police Service encourages everyone to participate and reflect on the sacrifices made by our local heroes. National Police Remembrance Day is a powerful reminder of the vital role police play in our lives and the deep gratitude we owe them.
